That’s what this patterned paper makes me…happier! Isn’t it awesome?? I had it out on my desk from a earlier project so I thought, why not? There’s so much variety in these little 6 x 6 paper pads!!
Hello Friends and welcome! If you haven’t visited me here before, I’m so excited to have you over! Creativity in whatever shape it takes is encouraged here! I have also opened a Card Shoppe! Please take a minute to browse!
Today I’m sharing a project I created for a wonderfully fun challenge over at Can You Case It. Thank you to the design team members who come up with fun and interesting challenges for us every week!
I had a blast creating this card and am feeling wickedly pleased at how I maneuvered around the two layer max:
I used the Flower & Leaf Trio Die from My Favorite Things Stamps to die cut my flowers into a sheet of Vintage Cream cardstock. At the same time, I die cut the rectangular shape using ‘Lil Inker’s Stitched Mats – Rounded Rectangles Die.
Then I used the Flower & Leaf Trio Die again to die cut three flowers from coordinating papers and then inset all of those flowers into my Vintage Cream layer. All of this is backed by another coordinating paper and popped up off the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here’s a closer look:
I found a fun sentiment in the Expressions stamp set by The Stamps of Life and buttons from my stash. They are probably from Making Memories. I have had them for years so I was excited to be challenged to use them!
I felt that the card needed just a little bit more of ‘something’. That something turned out to be these adorable bitty sequins from Simon Says Stamp…the perfect finishing touch!!
Thank you so much for stopping by, I would be thrilled if you would take a minute to leave me a comment! Now, head on over to the Can You Case It Challenge page and see what inspiration the other designers have for you!!
